Next, go to Mobile and click on “Add phone” to add your phone number. If you already have a phone number then press the “Confirm phone number” button to confirm the phone number you have provided.

After you have selected your country and your network operator, use your phone to send the message to the network operator to receive a confirmation code as instructed.

After confirming the phone number, go back to the settings and go to Security and select the Login Review section.

A bulletin board will appear to explain this security feature to you. Please ignore and Continue.

Next, Facebook will instruct you to create codes directly using the Facebook software on your phone. These codes can be used for confirmation in the second grade.

If you do not want to use code generator with Facebook software on your phone, Facebook will send the code to you via the phone number you registered above.
